The schedule was posted by Toby Moody, so it should be correct.

Sorry Bobbi, If I had the facility i'd record them for you.

Eurosport have twittered there to say it's now series linked, so obviously genuine.

We don't have satellite TV - seems hardly worth it for the few things we'd watch.

Not worth upgrading to a better package here just to watch a few hours of bike racing a month. The amount the robbing bastardages charge for a TV lisence, every channel should be available!

thought eurosport was part of the news/documentary - NOT sports??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I got rid of Sky sports but kept Eurosport for the bike racing - During the race season its pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday every weekend with MotoGP, WSB and BSB.

nope, clue is not in the name

http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/entertainmen ... ents-pack/

british eurosport channels are part of the news package

I do have sports - but only because it is costing me 3 quid a month currently... prior to that i had eurosport for the bike racing as part of the news package

If I remember it's one of those "top-up" channels and I think they only have Eurosport 1 whereas the bikes are normally on Eurosport 2.
